Greg's Paso - where was the cloak?
OK, I admit to not having watched particularly attentively this week - but where was the cloak in Greg's Paso? There didn't seem to be one.
![]() I thought he nailed it in the DO. Well done. I do worry about his knees, though. Some tortuous choreography there.

He did a bit of 'scarf waving' at the beginning, which, sorry, made me laugh a bit. He's so macho after all.

Hated Claudia/Aj's last week but that was down to the song rather than their performance!! I do worry for Greg from here on as that was the dance I was most looking forward to from him & I think his next Latin type could see him eliminated!! |

He took the cloak from around Nat's shoulders right at the start & gave it a quick twirl or two before he did the big jump onto the dancefloor!!

Thanks

I think that Natalie was wearing a covering over her shoulders which Greg removed at the top of the stairs and performed "cloakography" with, then discarded it before his leap on to the main dance floor!
Thanks, all. |

I was always taught to believe that in a traditional 'paso doble'.....the man is the bullfighter and the lady is the cloak.

They don't always have a cape. Some of the judges don't like them anyway.

I've always thought it was more interchangeable than that and that one of them can also be the bull.

The Paso doesn't need to have a cape. Len especially doesn't like "caping" so the long-standing pros tend to know not to bother with it.

I think it was that bit of foo-foo he took off Nat's shoulders right at the beginning and waved it about as if her was waving bye bye as a train left the station
